Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 286 280. Smiling Face Hiding Dagger
"Wheels and Wheels"

Shamoke stared at Wei Wen with a slightly horrified look. Wei Wen's head rolled on the ground several times before his headless body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Dang rang rang rang"

With a sound of metal clashing, a black object hit the parapet behind Wei Wen and fell to the ground. It was a standard broadsword of the Wu army.

It was this big knife that flew over just now and directly cut off Wei Wen's head, saving Shamoke's life.

Shamo Ke was so frightened that he fell to the ground, gasping for breath. He was only one step away from death. Shamo Ke calmed down and looked back. He saw Bao Feng, who was just a dozen steps away, recovering from his throwing posture. He knew that it was the commander-in-chief's beloved general who saved him.

It turned out that after Bao Feng climbed up the city wall, he and Shamoke started to clear the Wu army on the wall. Wei Wen ran into Shamoke over there, so naturally there was no powerful character on Bao Feng's side, so Bao Feng turned around to see the situation on Shamoke's side.

As a result, he happened to see Sha Mo Ke suppressing Wei Wen. Bao Feng could also see that as long as Sha Mo Ke fought steadily for more than ten rounds, Wei Wen would definitely lose.

As a result, the moment Wei Wen lost his balance, Bao Feng discovered that Shamoke had actually launched a full-strength attack, and the waiter who pounced on him naturally did not escape Bao Feng's eyes. He knew that he was in trouble.

How could such a relentless attack be possible? If this soldier blocked this full-strength attack, then Shamoke would have no choice but to be slaughtered by Wei Wen.

Bao Feng saw a Wu army standard broadsword at his feet, and he raised the ring-handled broadsword in his hand, and the standard broadsword was in Bao Feng's hand.

Bao Feng took a step to the right to avoid hurting Shamoke, and then immediately threw the big knife straight at Wei Wen's neck.

Sure enough, Shamoke was about to die under Wei Wen's sword in an instant because he was unable to change his moves. Fortunately, the big knife thrown by Bao Feng had arrived, and the huge kinetic energy directly beheaded Wei Wen and saved Shamoke.

"Captain Sha...oh no, General Sha, are you okay?"

Bao Feng stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and pulled Shamoke up.

"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you General Bao for saving my life."

Shamoke was still a little frightened, but he hurried to thank Bao Feng.

"It's okay. You and I are colleagues. General Sha is also loyal to our Han Dynasty. How can I stand by and watch someone die without helping him?"

The two men exchanged a few polite words and then continued to lead the Han army towards the inside of the city wall, preparing to seize control of the city gate.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief, something terrible has happened. The Han army has already climbed the city wall. Ximen reported that the Han army has completely controlled the outer wall of Wengcheng, and more Han troops are constantly climbing the wall. If there is no reinforcement, I'm afraid Ximen will be lost."

When the news of the Han army attacking the city wall came, the messenger soldiers reported to Zhuge Jin. As the Grand Commander, Zhuge Jin was theoretically responsible for coordinating the city defense, but unfortunately, due to some reasons known to everyone, this power was actually divided up by the Cavalry General Bu Zhi.

"What?! How many Han troops are there?!"

Zhuge Jin immediately stood up, walked quickly to the messenger and asked in a stern voice.

"This... I don't know, but according to General Gao Shou who is guarding the west gate, at least several thousand Han soldiers attacked us, and their fighting power is extremely fierce. General Gao said that if there is no reinforcement, I am afraid that the west gate will be lost in less than an hour."

The messenger lowered his head and could only tell the truth.

Zhuge Jin frowned, knowing that the situation had become critical and he had to do something.

"Order Captain Xia's 5,000 reserve troops to immediately support the west gate. At the same time, send a message to the other three gates to be careful of the Han army attacking the city at the same time."

Zhuge Jin immediately conveyed the order, hoping to stabilize the defense line so that Jianye would not fall so easily.

"Grand Commander, His Majesty invites you."

Just as Zhuge Jin was staring at the defense map in his room and thinking about how to deploy his troops next, a team of imperial guards suddenly came to invite him into the palace. "Your Majesty summons you?"

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, then realized that Sun Quan probably knew that the Han army had already climbed the city and started fighting. Without any suspicion, he handed over a roll of the defense map, ready to go and explain the pros and cons to Sun Quan in person.

After getting on the carriage and walking on the road, Zhuge Jin realized that something was wrong. It seemed that these imperial guards did not just invite him over, they actually surrounded him, more like... escorting him.

This made Zhuge Jin feel uncomfortable and a little uneasy. A possibility that he had thought of a long time ago kept flashing in his mind, and he could only hope that this idea would not come true.

"Grand Commander, His Majesty is waiting in the palace."

When they arrived at the palace gate, the royal guards politely "escorted" Zhuge Jin to the entrance of the council hall, and then began to guard the gate as if to cut off Zhuge Jin's retreat.

Zhuge Jin frowned and had no choice but to walk inside.

Entering the hall, Sun Quan had already sat on his lofty throne. However, compared to his indifference in the past few days, his face was now more haggard.

"The Grand Commander has arrived—"

The eunuch shouted loudly, and several pairs of eyes looked over.

Zhuge Jin then saw that in addition to Sun Quan, there were also Bu Zhi, Yu Fan, Gu Yong and others in the hall. At this moment, they looked at him with a very strange look, with a kind of compassion and a kind of gloating.

"I have met His Majesty."

"Grand Commander, please excuse me."

Zhuge Jin stepped forward to greet him, and Sun Quan nodded.

"Your Majesty, the Han army has already attacked the wall of the west gate of Jianye City. According to General Gao Shou who is guarding the west gate city wall, the Han army is coming with great force and may be difficult to resist. Therefore, I request..."

Zhuge Jin remained impartial and started by telling Sun Quan that the Han army had already reached the city wall, hoping that Sun Quan would be more encouraged and stop acting like a zombie.

"I already know about this. Zishan has already told me this just now."

However, Sun Quan remained calm, but what he said made Zhuge Jin unconsciously glance at Bu Zhi next to him.

Bu Zhi was standing aside with a calm look on his face at this time. He did not make any eye contact with Zhuge Jin at all, as if he knew nothing.

"Since Your Majesty already knows, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to mobilize other reserve troops in the city to assist Ximen..."

Seeing Bu Zhi's attitude, Zhuge Jin could only shake his head and turn the topic back to the matter of defending the city.

"Tzuyu, please be patient. I asked you to come here for this very reason."

Sun Quan raised his hand and interrupted Zhuge Jin again, with a smile on his face.

This was the first time in the past few months that Sun Quan smiled in front of his ministers. However, Zhuge Jin's hair stood on end, and a sense of danger instantly surged into his heart, as if he was facing a tiger that had just woken up.

"Zi Yu and the Prime Minister of Shu Han, Zhuge Kongming, are brothers from the same mother, is that right?"

Sun Quan smiled even more brightly, and he sat up and straightened his back. An imperial aura that could cause millions of corpses to fall suddenly spread out.
